[@thenecyshow2401]

Thank you for sharing! I haven’t even finished watching yet but to see a black woman in the field I am pursuing is so amazing! Thanks for sharing, can’t wait to see more.

[@myssakay]

The more videos of yours I watch, the more excited I become for this career. I found NCU and am settling on them partly because of finding your channel. Thank you for your help!!

[@StephAnya]

So glad to hear that! ♥️

[@jeaninetaylor8953]

@@StephAnya I am found and was just accepted by NCU because of you. Thank you for all of your videos. They are a great source of information. You make things seem so understandable.

I loved the part where you talked about "being a romantic and loving love" - I'm the same way! I always have been intrigued by the psychology and dynamics of relationships and how they influence a person. My favorite kind of shows are The Bachelor or any match-making show, hahah I'm considering becoming an LMFT myself and am glad I found this video. Can I ask what drew you to MFT versus any other counseling program? For me, it's been hard to narrow down what graduate degree to pursue. There's MSW, LMHC, LMFT, etc. My goal is private practice, working with individuals with anxiety/depression/possibly relationship issues. From what I'm learning so far, LMFT seems like a very good choice

[@ashia30392]

So amazing..coming from a grad student who’s in the same field. Definitely agree with you especially on the part of being on your practicum and being able to see client 👍🏽.

[@NDObeats]

Great video and congrats on 2K subs!

[@JennaRose957]

Your channel really reminds me why I’m working so hard in school even though I’m dyslexic and experienced my own mental health issues (recovered thankfully) that it’s possible to become a MFT and excel at it ❤️

[@terrencegriffin5953]

I enjoy your videos they really help me through my online classes. I'm glad you like working with mother and daughters. I want to work with men who suffers with depression

[@StephAnya]

That’s very needed!

[@ronnishaalaine6744]

I was just about to rewatch some videos and saw a new upload 🎉😅🙌🏾

[@StephAnya]

🥳🥳

[@monicasiegel2624]

How do you typically start and end a session? (especially with clients who struggle with initiative, or clients who won't stop talking?)

[@rmy_Youtube]

So informative! Thank you Steph Anya! 😊

[@StephAnya]

Thanks for watching! ♥️

[@ImKnotMyHair]

Loved this video...thank you so much. Could you do a day in the life of a practicum/internship student? I loved your day in the life video you did but I’m wondering what type of workload/responsibilities would a student have in practicum and internships

[@StephAnya]

Hi Alicia! I wish I could, but since I’m past that point in my journey, I can’t do the same format. It would essentially be very similar except for instead of trainings I had schoolwork and a lot more frequent supervision. I also saw significantly less clients.

[@ImKnotMyHair]

@@StephAnya ok, no worries. Thanks

[@jasmintelon]

During your practicum how did you support yourself financially? Did you still have time for a sustainable job on the side or did you need support? Thank you for your videos by the way! They've definitely helped me find my path being a first generation student.

[@AKSDOGS]

Would love to know this as well

[@cheyennefisher760]

Depending on where you live, some practicum/internships are paid, though most aren’t. I know those that work full time and do their practicum and internship, but they take longer to finish all of their classes. Others work part time or just get loans. It really depends on your comfortability of financial debt and/or length you want your schooling to be. Some people I know also work really hard and apply to a bunch of scholarships and get a ton of funding just through that alone. Some universities offer graduate teaching or research assistant positions. I would ask around with professors.

[@stephenyates4749]

Very good I might have you speak at bible class when it starts back up if I can get in your schedule 😊

[@StephAnya]

My dream speaking engagement 🤪

[@ProfessionalLunaRDZ]

I have been thinking of becoming a marriage & family therapist or an accounting for my bachelor's degree. I'm still thinking about what the choose until fall comes. However, this information gives me ideas for working as a therapist.

[@ritchmyrichard2653]

I’m late to seeing this lol! But thanks for the video & honesty. Really helps me as I begin my MFT grad school journey.

[@MelanieCastro88]

I love your channel!! I'm about to start my practicum and I also want to specialize working with Mothers' and children (especially perinatal/postpartum). What advice would you give on how to specialize with mothers and children?

[@CJgotjokes]

Another excellent video

[@StephAnya]

Thank you!

Your channel so informative 👏 👍 👌 😀

[@kaylatrausch1394]

I feel called to MFT and I’m so nervous haha. I older and going to school is dreading. I do want to have a Christian background. Have you came across Christian MFT?

[@m00gs420]

Im late to this video BUT im thinking about becoming and LMFT and I am currently in school to get my bachelors and im wondering if gra school and becoming an LMFT is right for me. I am super finance/money focused/driven and I was wondering about the process of getting work right after you become licensed and how the pay looks right after.

[@thewise2443]

you're awesome thankyou !

[@StephAnya]

Thank you for watching!!

[@MrsLadyA]

I have a few questions, Do I go to a certain place to get my degree?Also, would I work for a company? I am interested but idk where to start

[@ashleythetherapist7831]

Hi Steph! How were you able to find a supervisor? I am struggling to find a supervisor to being the Associate License process after graduation and the job off that I have now doesn’t have an available supervisor

[@camilawatkins]

How do you know if a school is coamfte accredited?

[@scorpiolove1493]

Hello I am about to start classes. Are you supervising now that you are fully licensed?

[@CJgotjokes]

What do you say or the difference between working with a man and working with a woman. And how would you attract more male clients. I believe that's where I'm guide to.

[@DanyaHethail]

Thank you for sharing all that you do it is so helpful! I feel like this maybe a loaded question, but it’s something that I came across and it worried me seeing as I am a future mft student. I wanted to ask how do you deal with clients who deal with self harm or even suicide idealization or thoughts of suicide?

[@aeiou5614]

I am curious why you say you’re a licensed associate marriage and family therapist? What is a licensed associate? Isn’t either you’re an associate or you’re licensed?

[@StephAnya]

Hey! I have a video that explains this. Look for the video that says, “I’m fully licensed!” Are you in California?
